Our boys teach us everyday to stop and appreciate the small things and that “laughter is the best medicine.” One time, I was asking our kids' pediatrician about something that Collier was doing that Harper never did, he laughed and said "Heather, there are degrees of normal." Now, I try to remember this when I am making comparisons about the kids, my life, my family or anything else. I think this title captures the essence of what I want to try and convey in my writing.

Do My Parents Really Live in the Sticks or What?
As I was going through some pictures from my visit back to VA in July I came across one I had forgotten about but really got a good chuckle from.
Would you believe me if I told you that this was our mode of transportation while back visiting my parents? That is actually a huge exaggeration, but the picture reminds me of an old Little House on the Prairie episode with Laura Ingles and her little brother coming back from town on their horse and buggy. In reality, my parents bought this horse and cart for the kids to "play around with" on their property. I think it makes a better story to say this was our only mode of transportation... don't you?
